So when I went to California, I had presents with me for my two nieces and one nephew.

Also, I finished the hat for Ashur.

I was spending some quality time with my niece, and she was writing on her newly-acquired paper-sized white-board.  Out of the blue, she asked “How you spell the word please?”   I encouraged her to sound it out, and then realized that it is a difficult word to sound out and spell correctly, so I told her it was spelled “PLEE- AY-ZEE” and we worked through the proper spelling.  She wouldn’t show me what she was writing, though – so that added a challenge.

A few minutes later, she proudly turned the white board over so that I could see her writing

Will you please mack me sumpin?

 

I said “Sure!  What would you like?”  She said she wanted a really REALLY long scarf.  I’m fairly certain everyone here knows how I feel about scarves.  They NEVER. END.  …and a really REALLY long scarf  really REALLY never ends!  Nevertheless, she is my niece, and I will make what she wants… So we started talking colors.  We reviewed the colors of the purses that I made for her last birthday, and she said she wanted a dark pink.

 

About 10 minutes later, she said “Or you could make me a hat like Ashur’s!  Then we could be TWINS!”

 

And so… Dear Morgan… this is almost on its way to you!

Right after I figure out what kind of embellishment to put on it.  What do you guys think of this button-thing?
